Lampe Berger Paris


The air is even more pleasant when, like Lampe Berger, you are celebrating 110 years of innovation.The first Lampe Berger lamp was created in 1898 by Maurice Berger, a pharmacy dispenser, to purify the air in hospital wards.

Living conditions improved and cleansing of premises became an important preoccupation. The Lampe Berger lamp was to contribute effectively to the disinfection of hospitals from 1907 onwards. It was then seen in houses requiring the air to be cleaned.
1930: Fragrance began to provide a pleasurable dimension; the taste for beautiful objects also reached its peak and the Lampe Berger lamp became a collector's item.


Lampe Berger is a decorative home accessory that fragrances the air while purifying. Coveted by collectors for decades, Lampe Berger commissions Europe's foremost designers to create new products. Each lamp is then crafted in top French factories and filled with perfumes created by the same experts famous for France's most exquisite body perfumes.
The new Lampe Berger Catalytic Burner:a concentrate of innovation protected by 4 worldwide patents. Designed in glass, stoneware, ceramic, or Limoges porcelain.

Kim Seybert Placemats





LIFE IS A BANQUET
Not so very long ago, style for the home was a largely unexplored territory. Tabletop accessories were often extremely traditional, or pulled out only for the most special occasions. Kim Seybert launched a fresh perspective into this world by introducing her refined fashion sensibility and a love of rich color and texture. Combining her personal philosophy and extensive design experience, she created a supremely stylish collection for modern living.
Those who love to entertain are drawn to Kim Seybert's designs. Whether serving dinner on a yacht or outfitting a favorite picnic basket, customers share an attention to detail and a love of beauty that Kim herself treasures.

Her products are meant to be enjoyed, so please don't be afraid to use them! All products are hand made and hand dyed; therefore the colors may vary slightly from one dye lot to another. We recommend ordering the full amount needed, as a second shipment may not match exactly. All items are washed and tested prior to shipping to ensure that you receive the best quality possible. http://madisonavegifts.com/index.php?page=shop/browse&category_id=d08076fccd76aaf9f59c9e79f688749b
